Cold, Cold Feet <br />You feel: I always get cold feet <br />In this, your roomful society <br />It’s not through lack of courage, you'll see <br />Is it odd 'cause I hail from the tropics <br />Where many rivers flow and the sky bears rainbows <br /> <br />You say: I am not a warm person <br />In your hamlet, this dwelling new <br />It's not that I don’t have a temperate heart, you'll see <br />Is it strange 'cause I left my roots in a place <br />Where collective fortitude promises tolerance <br /> <br />Oh! Let me draw you into the tropics <br />For once fetch your own courage, and draw your heart <br />Saunter in the warm sun, try a walk with me in fortitude <br />Together under this roomful sky, let's emit rainbows <br />From our feet, our once strangely cold feet <br /> <br />06108 <br /> <br /> <br />Notes: <br />Thanks to a comment by Chris Savin on my original piece of work, I have revised this piece for clarity.<br /><br />Sylvi Sylva<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cold-feet-4/
